Gibbs apologizes for calling Dallas fans ugly

NFL.com wire reports

BALTIMORE (Aug. 6, 2005) -- Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs apologized Aug. 6 for calling Dallas Cowboys fans "the ugliest people in the world."

While answering questions from the crowd at the team's Fan Appreciation Day at training camp Aug. 5, Gibbs said: "I know we don't have any Dallas people here -- they are the ugliest people in the world."

Gibbs later stressed that he was joking, but he felt the need to address the matter again after Saturday's scrimmage against the Baltimore Ravens.

"I tried to make a joke," Gibbs said. "I was joking. It didn't come out probably like a joke or like it should've. I hope all my buddies in Dallas -- because I've got a lot of buddies down there -- took it the right way. I hope they thought it was a joke.

"But if they didn't think it was a joke, or if anybody took it the wrong way other than a joke, when you make a mistake like that, you've got to apologize. So I apologize to anybody that might have taken it the other way."

I took it as a joke but that will still make us Dallas fans go wild when we play the Redskins this year. Thanks Coach for getting me pumped up for football.

That's such a ridiculous comment, I don't see how anyone could get offended.

That's like hearing those uppity Green Bay fans say they're "better fans" than Viking fans.

It must have been a slow news day. Give me something from T.O. or Jeremy Shocky. Those 2 know how to throw insults.
